We hit the road for our first pop-up at the opening of Gwen O'Brien'sSkin Deep / The Kiss of Life No. 5, now exhibiting at 632 Wealthy in Grand Rapids, MI.

Consisting of two projects, the exhibition touched on one of the major themes of existence; our relationship with ourselves.

Here's Gwen's artist statement and the full set of images:

Skin Deep is the first in a series of photographs and collage experiments exploring identity, gender, sexuality, and desire.

The Kiss of Life No. 5 was shot at Ten Thousand Waves in the mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Kiss is a blend of smoking herbs and cannabis—created for moments of connection with yourself and with others.

A little bit about fellow Australian Amber Sceats, she founded her self titled accessories company in 2012. Since launching in Sydney, Amber quickly gained a high profile in the media spotlight as one of Australia’s most dynamic designers. Heavily influenced by her appreciation for art, travel and architecture; Amber Sceats is an ode to the abstract. The underlying ‘rock’ element throughout her collections make the pieces uncompromisingly contemporary whilst simultaneously timeless.

It’s been said that we’ve got ‘colorful’ personalities. Which if you read between the lines, is a nice Midwestern way of saying ‘those ladies like to say the word shit a lot.’

Our vibrant personalities notwithstanding, ‘colorful’ isn’t a word we’d use as an exclusive guideline to merchandise the store around. Most of the time, color at Blacklamb means artful dashes here, a light accessory there, a few statement pieces. And that’s why when we notice that we’ve steadily been buying up a certain shade that isn’t black, well, we probably should be writing about it.
